i have absolutely no jazz or blues in my library and honestly don't know
where to start. i know that i like jazz music when i hear it and have
watched a shit ton of jazz videos on youtube (mostly for drumming) but i
want a starting point. help me out

basically arranged in order of how I think they'd appeal to a new listener. would also highly recommend seeking out liledman's jazz lists if you find yourself really keen on it. There's an essential 100 list, and then another more out avant-garde list, and quite descriptive, and covers lots of different sub genres.
